The new LM-100J "Super Hercules"

Honestly that's not really a problem like it used to be.

I'd convoy tomorrow if you told me that was the only way down to Baghdad to get on the rotator home without a second thought.

Oh I'm sure, just another poor taste joke.

Way of the world brother, well unless you're a dirty traditional like me that can say, "nah I'd rather go be treated like trash on the bottom of someone's shoe over at at the regional next week, no thanks on that set of orders"

Those jabroni's down south. Yup. A festering hate is brewing.

I thought that was an engine hauler for the days before 30k hours on wing became a thing.

My post was bound to confuse. My comment alluded to a time when airlines were profitable and could afford to have a C-130 waiting around for AOG or could afford to charter a plane to accommodate overbooked passengers or excess baggage.

I remember as a kid flying on Piedmont, on a couple of occasions they chartered a light twin to take care of a handful of overbooked passengers.

Guys

New here...

I want you to read the website Fire Aviation

You'll get your dose of dreamers that thought that they had $65M in the bag for one of these going forward

Yet they got 7 H models from National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) 2014 USCG and USAF. Where the USAF is doing the Center Wing Box repair ..on THEIR dime not USFS. One ship on a 500NM tether. The other six ..God only knows


Enjoy the read.

I can hear the passengers of today, after they got kicked off their RJ because it was over weight from needing an alternate, complaining about how they got kicked off their big jet and forced onto a "tiny little puddle jumper with those loud, unsafe propeller engines and no room to stand up and no wifi" after we charter a King Air to take them to Duluth from Minneapolis. Oh how the interwebs would light up in protest of the poor passengers being forced onto a small plane.
